inflation reduction act after a republican amendment in the vote-a-rama past with democrats like kristen sinema, voting in favor of it. this is making the legislative marathon even longer as republicans continue to try to make this process as painful as possible. democrats are painting the eventual expected passage of the bill as a major victory, hailing what is in it for the american people. vote after vote after vote we have done this with no sleep 11 hours straight. why? because we know this bill is finally going to do something about climate change. lift the ban on negotiating less expensive drugs under medicare. and then as the name of the bill says, bring inflation down by 305 billion dollars a deficit reduction. oil need 50 votes. we don t need 60 we don t need any republican votes to do something significant for working families in this country. unfortunately, for fairly well known reasons we have conservative democrats. we couldn t get the 50 votes that we need r
million times. so now, at the same time, as you were talking to senator coons, he said help was on the way. democrats also the prescription data language is not gonna be available tomorrow. you have to implement a lot of the stuff of the bill. there has to be some patients, even though this bill just passed that it will be sided to law sometime next week, the provisions take a while to actually implement from the government. and so we saw that with the obama care website, you have to be careful on implementation to make sure it s implemented the right way. that s a good point, liz. because i think it is one thing when you talk about the passage of this legislation and what it will do, it s another thing to see the real world impacts of how it actually gets turned into votes. it s the real world impacts the, way in which the legislation is communicated to the american people. democrats, at, times have fallen short when it comes to communication to the american people on their winds.
